January 2018

As we begin to receive manufacturer ordering deadlines for the 2018 model year, it is important to remember that all order cutoff dates are subject to change, sometimes without advance notice from the manufacturer. Please be aware that placing an order with a manufacturer on or before the scheduled cutoff date does not necessarily guarantee order fulfillment.

To help secure vehicles with preferred specifications, please submit your final orders as early as possible, or no later than 12:00 noon two business days prior to the scheduled manufacturer cutoff date. Your ARI representative is on hand to assist you with your ordering needs.

For a full online schedule of manufacturer ordering deadlines and production dates, please visit the ARI website at http://www.arifleet.com click on the Resources tab and look for the Build-out / Start-up Dates link on the right-hand side of the page. Or click here: http://www.arifleet.com/resources/manufacturing-updates/build-out-start-up-dates/.

Ford is issuing a safety recall for over 11,000 2018MY Ford Escape vehicles in the US and Canada for a side air curtain diffuser that may become detached during deployment. In the affected vehicles (vehicles built at Louisville Assembly between 11/13 and 11/29), the top hat diffuser on the side air curtain inflator may detach from the inflator during deployment and create a tear that could cause the side air curtain to not fully inflate and the diffuser to potentially become a projectile in the passenger compartment, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Dealers will replace the affected side air curtain assemblies at no cost. There are approximately 143 ARI VINs affected by this recall that will need to be repaired at a local dealership.

FORD - Plans have been cancelled to build the next generation Fusion starting in 2020 at Ford’s plant in Hermosillo, Mexico. It is unclear at this time whether the vehicle will be replaced by a different one or whether it will be built elsewhere. The Fusion will definitely not be imported from China where the next global Ford Fusion and Mondeo will be built.

The Ford EcoSport crossover developed on the Fiesta platform will be imported from India to North America in the first half of 2018. The Base model will be FWD with a 1-liter 3-cylinder EcoBoost engine.

The 4WD will be optional and this model will be powered by a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic.

FCA – The Jeep Cherokee will be freshened for the 2019 model year with a new front fascia, a freshened interior and more fuel-efficient powertrain options. FCA plans to completely redesign the Cherokee in 2021.

GM – Chevrolet plans on introducing a new three-row crossover that will be slightly larger than the Equinox but smaller than the full-size Traverse. It will be built on the Acadia’s platform and will be named the Blazer. The vehicle is scheduled to go on sale in late 2018 for the 2019 model year.
